Justin Patrick, Senior Vice President of Device Solutions at Itron, has spoken at industry events about the company's focus on data granularity and grid management. At the 2024 DTECH conference, Patrick stated that utilities are facing demands for two to five times their current capacity within 10 to 20 years, and argued that "wired solutions" alone cannot meet this need. He described Itron's work on distributed energy resource management, active transformer load management, and voltage management as "behind-the-wire solutions" intended to address these challenges. Patrick also thanked employees for the "reaction that the street had to our Q4 earnings results." In prior appearances, Patrick discussed Itron's product development. At the 2023 Itron Inspire event, he said that customers are seeking "data and data granularity" to react to network disruptions, and highlighted the company's evolution of its electric metering technology and the launch of the Intellis gas meter in North America, which he said provides "operational and safety protection." At the 2022 DTECH conference, Patrick noted that his group manufactures meters that collect data for utility and municipality customers, and expressed interest in companies developing technologies to reduce demand on grid infrastructure, such as load control switching and smart panel breakers.
“You think about electrification and what that's doing to the grid; we can't build enough wired solutions to solve the electrification that we need for these utilities. They keep talking about two, three, five times the capacity that they have today in less than 10, 20 years, and you can't do that with wired solutions.”
“Whether it's distributed energy resource management, active transformer load, and voltage management, everything we're doing for behind-the-wire solutions is helping to solve that problem that they're seeing.”
“I'm also excited about the reaction that the street had to our Q4 earnings results, and I want to thank all of you for your strong efforts and the way that you helped to get us to that position.”
“One of the things that struck me in talking to our customers here at the Inspire event is the need for data and data granularity and what I think is really great is Itron is developing the next generations of products to be able to give them that data so they can react to disruptions in their networks and infrastructur...”
“In our electric metering space, we continue to evolve our market leading measurement technology which gives that data to our customers and then that data allows us to develop even more distributed intelligence outcomes and use cases to give them those insights to keep the reliability in their grid.”
“We've launched the Intellis gas meter in North America and it gives us operational and safety protection through how the meter operates.”
“Both electric and gas metering platforms will have an impact and it again comes down to data. Given that these two different platforms can provide that insight to the utility or municipality, it allows them to react faster, improve efficiency in their operations and give them that edge that we're trying to do and give...”
“My group makes all the meters that grab all the data for us to provide to our customers. It's really exciting to see how this data helps our partners and customers manage their resources better and optimize their operations.”
“We're developing products that grab as much data out of our infrastructure as possible, allowing our utility and municipality customers to be smarter about how they're using natural resources and to conserve energy and gas effectively.”
“It's exciting to see companies trying to find ways to reduce the demand on our existing grid infrastructure, whether on the utility side or the consumer side, through load control switching or smart panel breakers that keep the load down.”
